Would be great, but these are features of more expensive monitors useually. BM has their waveform monitors set up in their "Broadcast" line, like the Duo Monitors. A waveform/Vector scope needs to be well executed, and requires some processor power in the monitor to store and execute the monitor correctly. A poorly done waveform is next to useless. Not sure the VA has the processing power to pull it off.Cheers

I second the point about processing power. There are some cheapo monitors around with waveform, but it's close to useless being too crude and unprecise. Looks more like a marketing gimmick. Admitted, the one from Atomos ain't bad, but it's also more costly.

So, if it can't be done right, we have to relate it to the price point of the VA.

The 5-inch HD VA has a smaller Video processor board, which may or may not supoortmadding the code needed for scopes. I was not sure the VAHD would support LUTs, but it does, and got them after the 4K model, so it is anyone's guess if the HD monitor will get scopes later too. Cheers

Leon, does look great, but so far no precise information about anything. What are the nits? What is the resolution? Maybe next month they'll be more open about it. And doesn't this take HDMI only? (Or am I mixing that up with another monitor?)

No, your are right Rick, this new monitor is HDMI only, aimed at DSLR cameras, with its built in hot shoe swivel mount. It looks like a dumbed down version of the 501. Looks like it would work nicely on the Micro Cinema setup for general shooting setup, for example, but not on a camera with SDI on,y connections. It does look interesting.Cheers

Hi RickI am afraid that I am like Pavlov's dog.When I hear the words "waveform monitor" I start to salivate.It comes from having been a lighting person at a time when any electronic hardware was very expensive.

So I apologize for the confusion. The idea that one can own an HDMI monitor with a waveform, gotta go my mouth is watering.
